St. Pio of Pietrelcina

A Prayer to Jesus by St. Pio of PietrelcinaOh my Jesus, give me Your strength when my weak nature rebels against the distress and suffering of this life of exile, and enable me to accept everything with serenity and peace. With my whole strength I cling to Your merits, Your sufferings, Your expiation, and Your tears, so that I may be able to cooperate with You in the work of salvation. Give me strength to fly from sin, the only cause of Your agony, Your sweat of blood, and Your death. Destroy in me all that displeases You and fill my heart with the fire of Your holy love and all Your sufferings. Clasp me tenderly, firmly, close to You that I may never leave You alone in Your cruel Passion. I ask only for a place of rest in Your Heart. My desire is to share in Your agony and be beside You in the Garden. May my soul be inebriated by Your love and fed with the bread of Your sorrow. Amen.

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm Nadja, a homeschooling Catholic mother, and a late bloomer. This is my little space where I record bits and pieces of our lives here on two acres of Tennessee. You'll find a little about small-scale farming, eclectic homeschooling, arts and crafts, some cooking and baking, our Catholic faith and a lot of photos of my six kids.
